Jiang Heng's feet made a sudden stop, and his figure vanished in an instant.
"What! So fast!" exclaimed the leading man.
In the next moment, he noticed a figure appearing beside him and quickly leaped to the side. At the same time, he swung his long sword, sending out a substantial sword energy nearly two meters long.
Jiang Heng's figure disappeared once again, reappearing behind the young man. In the blink of an eye, he struck with a punch that landed heavily on the young man's body.
"Boom!"
The young man's substantial protective qi shattered instantly, and the tremendous force entered every part of his body, damaging muscles, organs, and more. The young man's body crashed into several trees, spitting blood as he lay in front of a broken tree stump.
Meanwhile, the sword energy he had previously released had severed a dozen sturdy trees before disappearing in the distance.
"Rumble!"
The falling trees startled a group of birds in the forest.
The other two people nearby were equally astonished. They had an observer's perspective, allowing them to clearly see Jiang Heng's movements and speed. However, precisely because of this, both of them became more serious.
"This young man is no ordinary one!"
Simultaneously, this thought crossed both of their minds. They exchanged a glance and then split up to focus on Jiang Heng from two different directions, concentrating intently.
Due to the lack of a clear comparison of their initial attacks, they couldn't determine Jiang Heng's strength, but his agility alone was enough to command their attention.
Facing such a young and seemingly inexperienced individual, they, as top-level talents, were not about to retreat without even clashing. So, they decided to team up to hunt Jiang Heng first and then have a final duel to decide the ownership of the symbol.
Jiang Heng, however, paid no heed to the two's watchful eyes. His figure flashed and appeared in front of the injured young man, kicking him in the head.
"Crash!"
It was as if a heavy object falling from the sky had exploded, and bloody, blurred flesh and bone flew off in one direction.
While Jiang Heng delivered this kick, the other two acted simultaneously. One wielded a knife, and the other a sword, appearing on both sides of Jiang Heng. Their weapons were enveloped in a thin orange layer of substantial qi, enhancing the already sharp weapons with more terrifying killing power.
In the air, two crescent-like orange lights flickered and disappeared.
Jiang Heng raised both hands.
The knife and sword both cleaved through his palms.
"Whoosh!"
But the knife and sword were too fast, and only then did the sharp sound of air disruption ring out. The air turbulently roiled slightly later.
A strong wind surged in the area, with their hair floating.
"How is this possible!"
The two young men looked at Jiang Heng's undamaged palms with shock and disbelief. If he had dodged their attacks or blocked them with weapons, they wouldn't find it extraordinary. However, Jiang Heng had directly withstood the strikes of two Spirit Sea Realm experts using their Spirit Sea Realm qi-enhanced weapons, and this exceeded their imagination.
It's worth noting that even a fifth-stage expert in the Wanxiang Realm couldn't withstand a Spirit Sea Realm qi-enhanced weapon strike head-on. Yet, this mysterious young man had done it!
What's even scarier is that he hadn't even used qi!
"It's a special technique to reinforce his palms!"
The young man with the knife spoke firmly, "Although I've never heard of such a powerful technique, it's the only explanation now. Otherwise, is he really that terrifying in terms of physical defense?"
The young man with the sword also realized and said, "Let's join forces to kill him!"
Once again, the two of them flashed their figures, transforming into streaks of light that circled around Jiang Heng like an arc. Their weapons had turned into a series of phantoms, completely enveloping Jiang Heng's body.
To prevent his clothes from being torn, Jiang Heng, while defending, activated his qi, surging it out to protect his body.
"Innate Realm!"
Seeing Jiang Heng use his qi, the two young men trembled at the same time.
"Just at the Innate Realm, and he can contend with the two of us head-on?"
"This is ridiculous!"
The young man with the knife's qi surged wildly, condensing a massive blade nearly ten meters long, carrying a terrifying momentum that could cut through anything, and brought it down upon Jiang Heng's head.
Jiang Heng tilted his head slightly, looking in that direction as if he hadn't noticed, allowing the big knife to fall.
"Bang!"
The formidable blade composed of orange sword energy shattered into countless points of light, scattering like a dreamy light rain in all directions before vanishing into thin air.
"Your speed in martial arts movement is decent, but your explosive power is mediocre. Do you only master one high-level martial art?" Jiang Heng smiled as if he was casually commenting on the two's performance, which left them angry and in awe.
This young man in the Innate Realm truly possessed strength far above theirs!
The two locked eyes, both expressing the same word in their minds: "Escape!"
They moved swiftly, fleeing in different directions.
Jiang Heng's mouth curled upwards, and he moved his feet again. In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the young man with the knife, who had already been alerted by the sounds of the sword-wielding youth crashing into the tree. However, this time, the young man was on high alert.
The moment Jiang Heng approached, he released a massive amount of substantial qi, quickly interweaving a specific structure behind him to form a giant and solid qi shield.
A high-level defensive martial technique—Void-Breaking Shield!
The Void-Breaking Shield stood in front of Jiang Heng's path of movement. While it wasn't impossible to bypass it, he wanted to test his own strength.
He channeled his qi, adding it to his hands, and unleashed the full force of the Heaven-Annihilating Fist.
This was his most powerful burst of strength!
"Boom!"
When this punch struck the shield, it produced a thunderous muffled sound, and an invisible shockwave rampaged wildly in all directions.
The ground's grass bent over from the strong wind, and tree leaves were torn from their branches, floating away into the distance.
Jiang Heng's clothes rustled.
"Crack!"
The sturdy Void-Breaking Shield shattered inch by inch, but it successfully blocked Jiang Heng.
"The Spirit Sea Realm is enough to condense qi into a barrier and change into various forms. These methods are truly different from low-level martial artists," Jiang Heng thought to himself. He didn't hesitate for a moment and, after smashing the Void-Breaking Shield, immediately activated his god-level body movement technique to pursue again.
At this point, the other man had no time to run.
